Mid Essex ITT started life as 'Mid Essex SCITT Consortium' in 1994 at Chelmer Valley High School, making it one of the oldest school-based teacher training providers in the country. It later moved to Shenfield High School in 2003 in and then to its existing home at Notley High School & Braintree Sixth Form in Braintree. Over the past 30 years, Mid Essex ITT has trained close to 1,000 trainee teachers within schools in Essex. 

 

Within that time, Mid Essex ITT has been inspected five times by Ofsted, with the two most recent inspections awarding it an outstanding judgement (2017 and 2024). Other successes include being validated formerly as a partner of the University of Greenwich and currently by Anglia Ruskin University (2021 - present day) with trainees being awarded a PGCE with Level 7 Master's credits.  Mid Essex ITT was proud to be reaccredited as part of the recent Department for Education's ITT Market Reform process so it can continue to train teachers for our local schools.
